With Colin’s miss and Alex’s singing I decided to post a small clip to YT:

Tying Amanda with 12 TSes in their first six games are Shane Whitlock and Jerome Vered (not counting an instance in his fourth game where Alex accidentally said the correct response when reading the clue, which is only a TS by technicality).
Apologies for interrupting your break but could you post a video of Rachel’s interview?MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 11:35 am I added 2/16/96: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6735
Player pics of Rachel Schifter, Alex Rucker & Bill Lee:If a contestant has what I perceive to be an unusual enough name I will sometimes look them up to see if they have an online presence. It paid off for Rachel and this well-done post: http://rachelthebault.com/blog/i-lost-on-jeopardy-babySpoiler
That completes the 1996 CC.
I'm going to treat myself to a J! break. To quote the judge in A Few Good Men (out of context), "I'm quite certain I've earned it" and will resume archiving next Tuesday (or Wednesday) when the mood hits me. Since the count for missing CC games is low I'm going to finish those first.
After that I'll mix and match between teens and seniors to avoid being left with a stack of strictly seniors games. If there are requests for one or the other that's fine, while know that my goal, hope, plan is to get the rest in I have before Labor Day.
On June 5 the 395,000th clue went in and now the odometer has passed 398,000. The magic 400K is getting closer.
There was a UK Jeopardy on YouTube where the contestants got through both rounds a lot faster than they anticipated. So the host went back and interviewed the contestants some more! That would be my nightmare. (As it was, when I was on Alex asked about my story on his card, but then he followed up with an unexpected question about children's literature. That part got cut "for time". It was a rambling mess.)

You have done a lot for the archive over the years and I understand how I opened the door for this request by posting the Rachel post link. This does not mean I am declaring open season for video clip requests. That would of course be a Sisyphean nightmare.
Next I will send a PM to request access to the unarchived games.
Got it thanks. I cleaned up 11/7/96 since that was easy to do.kingskip wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 3:23 pmI just sent you a PM with the link.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 1:57 pm For Bamaman: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oiI6kd ... sp=sharing

Titles matter, fixed.

For that matter, UN Secretaries General should be on your short list study guide if you get the call and the list was even shorter 30 years ago. A $9,500 combined Coryat isn’t good.
I agree they should have gotten the movie but maybe they misunderstood the category and thought they had to start with B. Minor quibble, but the title needs an apostrophe.
